Fighting Soulblighter by yourself is all well and good, but the real fun begins when you get online and take on other players, or wipe out everyone on your office network. This section of the manual describes what’s involved in setting up and playing multiplayer games.
Myth II: Soulblighter provides you with a number of ways to network with other players, as well as a variety of multiplayer game variants to keep the game interesting.
You have two ways of hooking up with other players for a network game: bungie.net or Other (which includes LAN and TCP/IP). Each of these services is described below.
bungie.net
 bungie.net is a free Internet-based service which allows players from around the world to gather in one central location for Myth II multiplayer games.
How to Start Playing on bungie.net
The first thing you need to do is fire up your web browser (a recent version of Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer works best) and surf over to http://www.bungie.net.
Note that playing Myth II: Soulblighter requires that you have a dialup or dedicated Internet connection via an Internet Service Provider. We cannot help you find an ISP in your area, nor offer support for Internet-related technical problems.
Click the “Register A New Account” link and fill out the form that appears. You will be able to choose a login name and a password. Your login name and password must be three to eight characters long and must not contain any special characters. If someone else is already using the login name you requested, you will be prompted to choose a different login name before you can log on to bungie.net.
After completing and submitting the form, a confirmation message will be sent to the e-mail address you’ve provided.
After you’ve received the confirmation message with your login name and password, you’ll need to take a second to write your login name and password down in the spaces provided in the back of this manual. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that you’ll never lose the confirmation email or forget your password.
